I remember the first time I made potstickers with my friends, laughing and rolling out the dough together.

It felt like such a special bonding experience!

These potstickers are not just a tasty snack; they're a celebration of the beautiful veggies we get to work with.

Plus, I love how versatile they are—you can fill them with just about anything you have on hand!

What Makes This Recipe Special

  • Made with simple, plant-based ingredients that are easy to find
  • No animal products - completely vegan and cruelty-free
  • Perfect for beginners and experienced cooks alike
  • Delicious results that everyone will love, vegan or not

Ingredients & Substitutions

Feel free to customize the filling with whatever veggies you have on hand! Mushrooms, bell peppers, or even sweet potatoes work wonderfully. If you want to keep it gluten-free, use rice flour instead of all-purpose flour for the dough.

Tips & Notes

  • I like to keep my potstickers in a container lined with parchment paper to avoid sticking.
  • If you want a bit of heat, throw in some chopped chili or a dash of sriracha in the filling!

Recipe Variations

  • Sometimes I add chopped mushrooms for an earthy flavor boost.
  • You can also switch up the seasoning—try adding some miso paste for an umami kick!

Storage & Freezing

Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. You can also reheat them in a skillet with a splash of water to steam them back to life!

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I freeze these potstickers?

Absolutely! Just freeze them before cooking. When you're ready to eat, you can cook them straight from the freezer—just add a few extra minutes to the cooking time.

Ingredients

Instructions

  1. 1

    In a large bowl, mix the flour and water together until a dough forms. Knead it on a floured surface for about 5 minutes until smooth. Then cover it with a damp towel and let it rest for 20 minutes.

  2. 2

    While the dough is resting, prepare the filling. In a mixing bowl, combine the crumbled tofu, green onions, shredded carrots, cabbage, grated ginger, soy sauce, sesame oil, salt, and pepper. Mix well until everything is incorporated.

  3. 3

    After the dough has rested, divide it into two equal parts. Roll out one piece on a floured surface until it’s about 1/8 inch thick. Use a round cutter (or a glass) to cut out circles about 3 inches in diameter.

  4. 4

    Place a teaspoon of the filling in the center of each circle. Fold the dough over the filling to create a half-moon shape and pinch the edges to seal. You can also pleat the edges for a fancier look.

  5. 5

    In a large skillet, heat the oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the potstickers in a single layer (you might need to do this in batches). Cook for about 2-3 minutes until the bottoms are golden.

  6. 6

    Carefully add 1/4 cup of water to the skillet and quickly cover it with a lid. Let them steam for about 5-7 minutes until the water has evaporated.

  7. 7

    Remove the lid and let the potstickers cook for another minute to crisp up the bottoms. Serve warm with soy sauce or your favorite dipping sauce!
